Property is nestled in a quiet street at a convenient, walkable distance to train/bus stops and convenience stores. Staff were friendly and served us welcome drinks on arrival. Complimentary fruit, bread, and coffee available in lobby at breakfast time.
Room was a comfortable size with large standing shower. Daily housekeeping available with linen/towel changes offered every 4 days (available more frequently at a small cost). No public use of washing machine (only available via simple laundry service for ¥2000 per laundry bag), but a 24 hour laundromat just around the corner.
Service desk is manned during the day with no staff on site from 9pm onwards. As a female guest, I would have preferred the hotel front entrance to be accessible via swipe card access once no staff are on site, as the main entrance is unlocked at all times and any member of public has free access into the hotel and lift to access 2nd and 3rd level without a key card.
Another issue is noise within the hotel - whilst all guests are asked to keep noise to a minimum after 10pm, the hotel is small and you do hear noises like footsteps on the floorboards and people walking down the hallway. Noise overall was minimal and we had no problems with this, but light sleepers may find this to be an issue. Soundproofing against noise external to the hotel was excellent - we could not hear the construction noise from the building a few doors down from the hotel.
